List Randomizer

Enter a list of items, one per line, and click 'Shuffle' to randomize them.

    How This Tool Works

    The **List Randomizer** shuffles the order of items you provide. This is useful for drawing a winner from a list of names, creating a random order for a presentation, or any other task where a random sequence is needed.

    This tool is entirely **client-side**, meaning all the shuffling happens directly in your browser. No data is sent to a server, ensuring your list remains completely private.

    How the Shuffle Algorithm Works

    This tool uses the modern version of the **Fisher-Yates shuffle** algorithm. It is a highly efficient and widely-used method for generating a random permutation of a finite set. The algorithm works as follows:

    1. Start from the last element and iterate backward to the first element.
    2. In each iteration, a random index is chosen from the current position up to the beginning of the list.
    3. The element at the current position is then swapped with the element at the randomly chosen index.
    4. This process is repeated for each element, guaranteeing a completely random and unbiased shuffle.
